Solution Overview

Problem

The exponential increase in electronic content makes it difficult for users to find relevant content, especially for upcoming events, as existing recommendation systems fail to provide timely and relevant information to users, such as medical professionals, leading to inefficient information dissemination and potential off-label prescribing.

Innovation Solution

An event-driven content recommendation engine that analyzes engagement data from client devices to identify and recommend content items that were viewed or shared by users before, during, or after similar past events, with weighted relevance based on user expertise, event similarity, and prescription patterns, ensuring that content is relevant and on-label.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users access more content items to find relevant information, then the likelihood of finding relevant content increases, but network congestion and device operability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent relevanceVSAvoidnetwork efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by detecting upcoming events in advance and proactively pushing relevant content items to users before they need to search for them. The server monitors user events, determines relevant content based on engagement data from similar past events, and pushes this content ahead of time, eliminating the need for users to browse through numerous content items and reducing network congestion from unnecessary requests.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the recommendation system pushes more content items to users, then the likelihood of providing relevant content increases, but information accuracy and on-label compliance worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent relevanceVSAvoidinformation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by analyzing engagement data from past events to determine which content items were actually relevant and useful. This feedback loop allows the server to continuously improve its recommendation accuracy by learning from user engagement patterns, ensuring that pushed content is both relevant and accurate rather than merely increasing content volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by weighting different factors in the recommendation algorithm, such as user expertise level, event similarity, and engagement metrics. By dynamically adjusting these parameters based on the specific context and user profile, the system ensures that pushed content maintains high accuracy and on-label compliance while remaining relevant to the user's needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If users manually search for relevant content, then information accuracy can be verified, but time consumption and user effort increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoidsearch time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs the time-consuming search and verification process in advance by automatically detecting user events, querying relevant content from the database, and pushing this pre-verified content to users. This eliminates the need for users to manually search and verify content themselves, saving significant time while maintaining information accuracy through the server's automated verification processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically performing the content search, filtering, and verification tasks that would otherwise require user effort. The server autonomously monitors user events, determines relevant content based on engagement data, and delivers this content without requiring users to initiate searches or verify information manually, thus reducing time loss while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

In some implementations, a method is performed by a device including a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, the method includes obtaining, by the device, engagement data that indicates engagement of a plurality of devices with one or more content items of a plurality of content items. In some implementations, the method includes detecting, by the device, a first event associated with a first time that occurs after a current time. In some implementations, the method includes identifying, by the device, a first content item from the plurality of content items based on the engagement data. In some implementations, the first content item satisfies an engagement criterion associated with the first event. In some implementations, the method includes rendering, by the device, the first content item at a second time that occurs prior to the first time.
